Description
Hi, I have the following scenario:
- monitor 1 (M1) running VSCode
- monitor 2 (M2) running zsh, where I call
gow run .
Desired behaviour:
First time the app is loaded on M2, then when I change the focus to M1 and update the code, gow will reload the app in M2.
Current behaviour:
First time the app is loaded on M2, then when I change the focus to M1 and update the code, gow will reload the app in M1
The reason why I want this is to be able to keep editing the code in VSCode in full screen and watch the changes at the same time.
Currently it switches to the app on reload and moves away from VSCode. So I have to switch back at each save.
I don't know if it's possible, maybe it's a Mac behaviour. But checking anyway.

Research direction
Reproduce the reported setup with VSCode on monitor 1, zsh running gow run . on monitor 2, and a code change while focus is on monitor 1. Trace the reload behavior from the gow run . entry point and determine whether macOS permits reloading in the originating window; done means reloads stay on monitor 2 without moving focus from VSCode.
